I can't think of any computational problem that I cannot solve until
a C11 compiler falls out of the sky and lands in my lap.

Is there some secret bit manipulation in the CPU that I cannot unlock
otherwise?

Software development carries risks. Unnecessary software development,
therefore, carries unnecessary risks.

If a C11 upgrade to a compiler breaks some user's code which doesn't use
anything from C11, the net value of that upgrade is negative.
